Houilles Corrida 2026: 5- and 10-kilometer races and a children's event on December 27.

La Corrida de Houilles is back on Sunday, December 27, 2026, in the Yvelines. The 54th edition brings together kids’ races, a 5 km and two 10 km options, with online registration open until December 13.

A final running date before the year ends: the Corrida de Houilles returns on Sunday, December 27, 2026 in the Yvelines. For this 54th edition, the town welcomes both enthusiasts of the 5 km and the 10 km as well as young runners, with several starts in the afternoon.

The two 10-kilometer races, the Popular Race and the Aces’ Race, take a route made up of two 5-kilometer loops. The latter serves as the elite showdown. The program thus invites you to come run, then watch the other events through the streets of Houilles.
